An expert system for generation of anti-G control schedule for jet fighter pilots

Abstract

Abstract The high maneuverability of modern jet fighters often subjects the pilots to high G z acceleration. One of the adverse effects of G z acceleration is the G -induced loss of consciousness. The current protection scheme includes a pressure mask that supplies the pilots with nominal positive pressure breathing and a nominal pressurized G -suit. This paper presents a novel approach based on a combination of expert knowledge, pilots' anthropometric and physiologic data to generate control schedules of the G -suit and mask pressures of jet fighter pilots.
